2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser bar.
3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network
For the hosting of our website and the display of the page content, we use a provider who provides its services either itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.
All data collected on our website is processed on these servers, unless different data recipients are named below for specific data processing activities.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
4) Cookies
To make visiting our website more attractive and enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing your browser (so-called "session cookies"); others remain on your device for a longer period and allow you to save page settings (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find out how long cookies are stored in your web browser's cookie settings overview.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR either to execute the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in the event of consent being given, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

5) Contact
5.1 Dedicated function for online appointment scheduling
We process your personal data as part of the online appointment scheduling provided. You can see which data we collect for online appointment scheduling from the respective input form or appointment query. If certain data is necessary to be able to make an online appointment, we will indicate this accordingly in the input form or when making an appointment. If we provide you with a free text field in the input form, you can describe your request in more detail there. You can then also control which additional data you want to enter. The data you provide will be stored and used exclusively for the purpose of scheduling an appointment. Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures). If you have given us your consent to process your data, the processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the person responsible named at the beginning of this declaration.
5.2 WhatsApp Business
You have the option of contacting us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "business version" of WhatsApp.
If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (e.g., a placed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your request to a specific process.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we will save and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp and - if provided - your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.
Your data will always be used solely to respond to your request via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Use upon first use of the app on their device. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our site visitors and prohibits its transfer to third parties.
As part of the above-mentioned processing, data may be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
5.3 When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when you use a contact form is stated in the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for the contact and associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary.
6) Registration on the website
You can register on our website by providing personal data. The input mask used for registration determines which personal data is processed for registration. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, meaning your registration is only complete once you have confirmed your registration via a confirmation email sent to you for this purpose by clicking on the link contained therein. If you do not confirm this within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. Providing the aforementioned data is mandatory. You can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.
When you use our portal, we store the data you require to fulfill the contract, including any information about your payment method, until you permanently delete your access. We also store the voluntary data you provide for the duration of your use of the portal, unless you delete it beforehand. You can manage and edit all information in the secure customer area. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
In addition, we store all content published by you (such as public posts, pinboard entries, guestbook entries, etc.) to operate the website. We have a legitimate interest in providing the website with all user-generated content. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you delete your account, your public statements, especially in the forum, will remain visible to all readers, but your account will no longer be accessible. In this case, all other data will be deleted.
7) Comment function
As part of the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created and the commenter name you chose will be saved and published on this website. Furthermore, your IP address will be logged and stored. This IP address is saved for security reasons and in case the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. We need your email address to contact you if a third party should object to your published content as illegal.
The legal basis for storing your data is Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to as unlawful by third parties.
As a user, you can subscribe to subsequent comments. You will receive a confirmation email to ensure that you are the owner of the specified email address (double opt-in procedure). The legal basis for data processing in the case of a comment subscription is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time with future effect. Please see the confirmation email for further information on how to unsubscribe.

9.3 Google Maps
This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps and geographical information visually. Using this service, you will be shown our location and it will make it easier for you to find us.
As soon as you access the sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account already exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates this.
The collection, storage, and analysis are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to meet your needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; you must contact Google to exercise this right.

The service checks whether an input has been made by a natural person or has been abusively processed by machine or automated means, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this data to the provider's servers for analysis. Cookies, i.e. small text files stored in the browser of the device, may be used for this purpose.
If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The processing described above may also involve the transfer of data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
If cookies are also set when using Google Translate, the processing described above will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
If no cookies are set, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offer and the wide-reaching design of our website.
